We urge you to take appropriate action as soon as possible by contacting customer support. Our team will help you to navigate through this change.

They split last year, edegecenter is the russian site.
EdgeAM, a provider that I am not aware of, seems to have taken over G-core's infra there. They obviously have a hold on the customer database too because they are sending out emails and are inviting existing customers to move to them. Unless it's the same entity and they are just trying to work through the various restrictions related to Russia.
yup - https://edgecenter.ru/en/
Such is the world we live in. Sad, but inevitable.
Who's next? Anyone or any business that doesn't submit to Russian regulations and legal demands, from the most visible on down, based on the availability of Russian resources to monitor and detect violations. As you know, many providers preemptively pulled out or were already blocked by Russia, especially email/social platforms that have encryption or any reasonable degree of privacy policy.
Just the first rule of propaganda in war: control the flow of information. I'm surprised it took this long for Gcore to pull out.
This company is full of russian migrants. And i'll not surprised if the investments there are also russisan
Of course, they can't leave Russia, but they are afraid of sanctions naturally.
We received that too, but when we asked about it through Gcore ticketing system they denied it. Kinda weird
And people say that they’re professional..
This is quite a 180 degree turn from that word.
Wait, so if the newsletter was not initiated by them - are they also saying they are not affiliated with that company?
If so - how did that company get their user list to send said newsletter?
🤔
When western companies shut down in Russia because of the war, corrupt Russians steal everything they can from the companies. And it is done with the help of the Russian government.
Service & Buisness should not be affected by War or Politics in this universe.
They suck on the battlefield and begin small dirty tricks. Not understanding that you have to return the cashback to them on the personal account.
Gcore cloud are clowns. Still no IPv6 and you can't download invoices throught their panel.
Those sneaky Russians
They provide IPv6 for many locations. If use supported device.
They don't provide or have any IPv6 for cloud products. The product is half ass baked and works like shit.
I tried to configure Wireguard VPN with several locations, and Opera Browser shows me the IPv6 address instead of IPv4.
So what?
I tried to write in support, they answered that you can send a request for a change of data. They will replace and everything will work. So if anyone needs to do it.
I don't think Russian people are sneaky, but the ruler is, Pudding.
Not to mention its "best friend", which promised "no limit cooperation".
I've received that email, too, and I asked Gcore's support about them the other day. I was told that they used to be affiliated.
What bugs me most is that Gcore does not seem to give a f... that EdgeAM still have access to their customer data. I can even login to EdgeAM's customer panel using my Gcore account.
If you were registered in the first G-Core, then EDGE separated from them a year ago and in one control panel there was access to two companies simultaneously. After the Russian company removed foreign localizations, each company left only its access but the passwords are still suitable for both there and there. You can enter two sites on one old password. Although EDGE support says that they now have no attitude towards a previous company.
Works for me in one of their Brazilian locations.
Their "Cloud" offer means a 2GB VPS for prices like 12 EUR/mo? I don't think anyone has used that, everyone was just getting the regular VPS plans which are from 3.25 EUR. And there is IPv6 in most locations on those, albeit a really facepalmy one with a single /128, and extra /128s available for additional cost.
The only difference between Gcore and Edge is the customer support reps over at Edge put vodka in their morning coffee instead of Baileys.
Vodka, vodka all tonight..until the morning light
In Russia, pigeons walk through the streets and in Luxembourg peacocks instead of pigeons.
And the single address in a /125 subnet. Bizarre.
My lu VPS was in G-core later it migrate to edge and about 1-2 month ago i'm got that mail:
LU VPS still working ok.
